Prompts
There are a number of command output listings throughout this
book. The commands in these sections start with a prompt (either
$
or #
) that indicates whether the
command should be executed by a normal user or whether it should be run
as root.
$less /etc/raidtab
#vi /etc/raidtab
For example, in the preceding code, the $
prompt indicates that the first command can be run as a normal user. By
default, any user can view, but not modify, the file
/etc/raidtab. To edit that file, however, you need
root access (as the #
prompt
denotes).
